AND
FOURTH DRAFT
- 19 -

slow-ups, jurisdictional disputes, will help the cause of labor.
The country is entitled to expect that industry and labor will
bargain in good faith -- with labor recognizing the right of industry
to a fair profit -- and industry recognizing labor's need to a decent
and sustained standard of living -- and with both of them realizing
that we cannot have either deflation or inflation in our economy.
The country, on the other hand, should be patient and realize
that many of the parties are out of practice. Collective bargaining
on basic issues has been largely suspended in numerous industries for
several years. The point at which the people of the country are entitled
to become impatient, and to consider the need of Government action, is
when one of the parties fails to bargain in good faith or refuses a
reasonable offer of conciliation or arbitration.
I know that this is not an easy way to solve the wage problem,
but it is a sound way, it is the American way. I am convinced that if
labor and management will approach each other, with the realization that
they have a common goal, and the determination to compose their differences
in their own long range interest, it will not be long before we have put
industrial strife behind us. Labor is the best customer management has;
and management is the source of labor's livelihood. Both are wholly
dependent on each other, and the country in turn is dependent on both.
